LG offers new multimedia sharing technology

Amman, September 15, 2010

LG Electronics showcased a major breakthrough in mobile and home convergence at the IFA trade show in Berlin recently.

The new technology makes it possible to share multimedia files on LG’s upcoming LG Optimus 7 and all DLNA compliant digital devices at the touch of a finger, said the company.

LG’s unique multimedia sharing technology on LG Optimus 7 allows users to enjoy content on the phone across today’s digital platforms with a simple finger flick. This preinstalled feature allows users to send files directly from the phone’s media galleries, without having to leave for another application.The phone will automatically display compatible devices in the same Wi-Fi zone and let users literally flick media files to the targeted device. Users can transfer multimedia saved on their phones -- 720p HD videos, high-resolution photos and high-quality music files -- wirelessly to their TV or home theater system, it said.

“This unique feature is a direct response to the growing need for technologies that empower users to share multimedia content across electronic devices,” said Kevin Cha, managing director of LG Electronics Levant.

“LG Optimus 7 smart phones will be at the center of a complete entertainment experience, representing LG’s leadership in mobile convergence.”

This unique media file-sharing technology will be embedded in upcoming LG Optimus 7 smart phones, which go on sale early in the fourth quarter of this year. With more than 240 leading consumer electronics brands adopting the media sharing technology, DLNA is expected to set a new industry standard for home entertainment, it said. -TradeArabia News Service
